Divine Intervention?

So, this errant, 40 something blogger, in her second blog of the year, finally feels a need to share something from her life of late. Roughly six weeks ago, coming to my wits end about what it is I have been put here on earth to do with my life anyway, I (finally) threw my hands up in the air (in prayer) and said - OK God - so I have had enough of trying to figure this out on my own - what is it that you want me to do with my life anyway???

The following night I attended a meeting at my church, where several projects were discussed that it was clear we would need grant money to accomplish. I went home and began researching potential donors. The next morning, a friend called out of the blue, and asked if I was ready to give up my day job and go into grant writing for a living. While I was not then - it certainly opened my mind to this calling....I continued to research funding organizations..... A few days later, I went to a friends house after a training, and she and her sister talked to me about raising money for a school they have started in Pakistan....that night, I found a foundation that provides funds or the education of women in third world countries. Several weeks later, I was invited to an informational meeting about conversion of a local 1906 elementary school building into a neighborhood arts center - in need of $6 MM to make operational. I signed up to help with grants. A few days after that, a colleague at church made me aware of a grant writing seminar presented by our local churches. Several days after that I attended a training on networking, and identified 10 contacts in one of our exrecises with information about fundraising and grants. As I began to write the grant for the school in Pakistan, I found a pivotal blog from a person who had lived in the small town where the school is for the last 30 days.

At any rate, I am feeling called. God has put too many opportunities in my path in the past month to ignore this message. So...I am following the signs, to see where it will lead - hopefully toward a better world.
